The leader of the rock group DDT Yuri Shevchuk came on Wednesday XII Moscow International Book Fair on the fairgrounds, where he presented his book - a collection of poems, "a solo album," and then, a few hours later, gave the square in front of the pavilion "cosmos" benefit concert protection of monuments. The musician admits that the literature meant for him no less than the music - he is willing to buy new products and prose writings on philosophy. Yury Shevchuk said columnist "RG" on which of them he does in the next tour in Russia and the new songs the group. - You're also a little prose, essays and short stories. Why in the end decided to publish the poems - in fact this is not the most widely read genre today? - I do not consider writing to the songs, but the poet in full. Although sometimes I compose poems, which do not need music. They were a few years in my desk drawer. Collected, accumulated and eventually formed the basis of this book (which contains the lyrics of the songs of DDT - Approx. A. A). Yes, it can, and today read less poetry. But all the same - some of our people can not do without them, because imagine Russia without poetry is impossible. As without its architecture, culture, music, theater. Russia in this, I do not believe it. Moreover, there is the poetry - it is! And below - in Russian rock. In his poems more artistic and poetic than in the Western rock. As we just start with the word. For example, - I and a group of the DDT. - The fact that a significant part of the Russian rock - poetry - is hampered Russian rock band famous in the West ... - Yes. This is a fact: In the West, Russian, to put it mildly, not very popular. Pushkin also know there only operas. Surprisingly, this is true. Our group from abroad often. And 70-80 percent of the audience - immigrants. But the rest - is "natives". Something they! Happy in our songs I am happy - can then interested in meaning, words? - A group of DDT enters the next tour in Russia. Some books take you? - I love books, but sometimes I feel graphomaniac. It is a sad disease. But well, I understand. If you add up - one of those stories, essays that I write - gained some ground. And then let a book of prose. A favorite writers have many. Without the book - I can not sleep. This is my sleeping pill (smiles). Now I have several books - finish "Pasternak" Dmitry Bykov, his "Okudzhava" in and f And recently finished like "Day-garde" Vladimir Sorokin - a fun little thing. And enjoy reading the philosophical literature. Shoveled recently Young - 20-30 German philosopher of the 20th Century. I am interested in the marginal philosophy, which is very popular throughout the world. It - only "armagedonistaya" but - very honest and up to date. Experts speculate that the further development of the civilized communities of our country does not lead to an increase of humanism and the improvement of relations between people. After the massacre and violence - it showed that even the most civilized country does not make you better or children. Actually wrote about it more and Erasmus and Nicholas of Cusa, a few centuries ago ... and now in the XXI century thought a lot about how we can survive, remain normal, honest and emotional people? Actually, it's the eternal problem, say "apophatic" as religious philosophers ... But remember - you need! - What do you usually do to colleagues in the rock music to speak? On his new CD? - No. We have recently met with their peers - those who started in the 70's and 80 years. We talked about the fact that everyone is waiting for a miracle. Creativity - that's a miracle. And we are waiting for some guy with charisma, in Russian, but the update - giving new coal to the surface, which heats the oven our rock of today - with some of his metaphors, verbal collisions. We are all waiting for the breaking of the frozen material and some new language. This will be of course. But during the process of energy storage. - The repertoire of DDT after a break, there are more new songs. - Yes, Chukchi - what we see, and we sing. New songs. From life and from the internal sense of time and space in which we are born Our new program, we gradually grow - enough socially, try the songs that we see the problem, but to do it artistically. Art poster - not our investigated DDT to ensure that in the songs had depth and aesthetics. - A semi-acoustic, with the songs you want to sing in the company of a guitar - Two years ago, you have a CD, "Beautiful Love" issued. Previous - L'Echoppe ("stable") - recorded in France with arranger Konstantin Kazansky worked with Alyosha Dmitrievich and Vladimir Vysotsky. Rock fans are worried that we will switch to a high quality, but - chanson ... - I love the different musical forms. Cook "soup", "borscht" ... I stuck somewhere in postmodernism - mix different ingredients, and even our culture existed. Pull something special out of this, looking for your own taste. But in this small town. I love the author's song, and I think that Vysotsky, Galich, Okudzhava, Vertinsky, and many of our older brothers and fathers - to some extent, the fathers of Russian rock. Finally she pulled her inspiration, poetry and we. On the other hand - we had the Rolling Stones, Yes, The Doors ... The clash of European music and the Russian language, and just created such a freak, which is now in front of you (smile). A disc "stable" - I amuse your self-esteem: an album in Paris, with the famous Constantine Kazan - a very powerful and original artist who worked with many singer. He made all the arrangements for me. The studio was under the Eiffel Tower, where I for one month - to look creatively interesting, the "kitchen" of French musicians. There, I have gained some experience. But - no more. - Your new program is closer to Hard Rock ... - I would not hard rock, but the music was definitely harder, harder because life was itself I think that now in the rock music that was missing in the 80s: the rigid social and civic issues. - They have two sons. Why do they, like the children of the main characters 70 and 80: Garik Sukachev, Boris Grebenshikov, Alexander F. Sklyar, Vladimir Shahrin - not the parents went to rock music?. - Our children - they see how we plow. And like all children - they want to live a little better than their parents. You know that rock music - is not just a "joke" - fun, but also a lot of work. In general, I'm not the father, the need to continue the tradition. Let the children choose themselves. For me the most important thing for them to have a heart of compassion and empathy for others. In order not to selfish and egomaniac. So feel the breath of the proximity of people, rooms, trees, architecture, rivers. What can I do all the time trying ...
